Speech & Drama Classes in Castleknock
Castleknock Parish Centre
We offer Speech and Drama classes in Castleknock for children and teens aged 6 and up. We keep classes small to ensure each student receives individual attention and feedback. With our dedicated teachers, students build confidence, improve their speech clarity, and nurture their creativity. We lay a strong foundation in technique that people carry with them throughout their lives, both on and off the stage.
Students have the option to participate in solo and group competitions throughout the year, take Grade examinations, and perform in a full scale production in a professional theatre. Our classes are great fun, and we’re passionate about the subject we teach. Classes at BANTS are “serious play!”

Our venue
Our Dublin West base is the Castleknock Parish Centre, right in the heart of the village.
Classes take place in the main hall of the Parish Centre, an expansive space with warm wooden floors and plenty of natural light. With ample space to move about and exceptional acoustics, it’s perfect for movement and vocal work.
We feel that a working space is very important for our classes. We always aim to create a welcoming environment that encourages imagination and exploration in our students.
Getting Here
The Castleknock Parish Centre is located on the Main Street in Castleknock village, beside the Church of Ireland school in the white pebble-dash building. Drop off and pick up is through the wooden door at the back of the building on the far right.
